Thursday Challenge—"remembrances (2)"

I'll never forget what it's like to get up at dawn in Venice—to see the rising sun reflecting off the palatial homes on the Grand Canaland experience the city without thehordes of tourists. Takes my breath away.

A view of Venice this gorgeous can most often be found only in an art museum. That this is a photograph taken by yourself is all the more incredible, especially considering that from a few minutes later the scene would have looked like this.

It is hoped that measures such as that detailed here may forestall the inevitable flooding. Wiki article on the MOSE project here.
